Description

This Springfield Model 15 single-shot bolt-action rifle, manufactured by the Savage Arms Corporation at their Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts facility, is chambered for .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle cartridges. The firearm features a 22-inch blued steel barrel, a simple fixed-post front sight, and a screw-adjustable leaf rear sight. The metal receiver and barrel are roll-stamped with the manufacturer and model information: SPRINGFIELD, SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION, CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A., .22 SHORT, LONG OR LONG RIFLE, and MODEL 15. The right side of the barrel displays three patent numbers: PATENT 2113575, PATENT 2223092, and PATENT 2230372, accompanied by a stylized M mark. The rifle is missing its bolt assembly and is being offered for parts or repair. It is mounted in a one-piece walnut-finished hardwood stock with a smooth butt and a single takedown screw on the underside of the forend. Mechanical function has not been independently verified due to the missing bolt. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The metal surfaces show a dark, mottled patina with areas of surface oxidation, thinning bluing, and scattered handling marks throughout. The wooden stock displays numerous handling marks, shallow scratches, and dark staining, particularly concentrated on the butt and forend areas. The rifle is missing the entire bolt assembly. The bore was not physically inspected. The action cannot be cycled or tested for function due to missing components.
